III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

During the public comment period 

provided, EPA received one comment in 

response to the July 13, 2011, Federal 

Register notice announcing the 

Agency’s proposal to amend the 

fenamiphos use deletion and product 

cancellation order, (76 FR 41248) (FRL– 

8879–5). The comment, from the 

Arizona Department of Agriculture, 

supported the Agency’s proposal to 

allow sale and distribution for an 

additional year. However, the comment 

also stated that it would be preferable to 

continue to allow use of fenamiphos 

products already in the hands of users 

until exhaustion. The comment 

describes the disposal of unusable 

pesticide products as expensive and 

time consuming. The Agency 

acknowledges the difficulties inherent 

in the safe disposal of pesticide 

products. However, as stated in Unit III, 

the Agency has concerns that, if the 

previous existing stocks provision 

allowing use until exhaustion were not 

amended, the use of fenamiphos would 

continue for an extended period of time 

beyond the most recent comprehensive 

scientific risk assessments of its 

domestic use. After consideration, the 

Agency has concluded that, with the 

additional 3 years provided by this 

order, an adequate period of time has 

been provided for existing stocks of 

fenamiphos products to have been used. 

IV. Amended Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(a), EPA 

is amending the December 10, 2008 

order to allow persons other than the 

registrant to sell and distribute the 

fenamiphos product, Nemacur 3 

Emulsifiable Systemic InsecticideNematicide (EPA Registration Number 

264–731), for 1 year, until October 5, 

2012. Accordingly, the Agency orders 

that the sale and distribution of 

products containing fenamiphos is 

prohibited, except for proper disposal or 

export pursuant to section 17 of FIFRA, 

provided, however, that persons other 

than the registrant are permitted to sell 

and distribute existing stocks of 

Nemacur 3 Emulsifiable Systemic 

Insecticide-Nematicide (EPA 

Registration Number 264–731) for 1 year 

from the publication of the amended 

order. The Agency further orders that 

end users with existing stocks of any 

products containing fenamiphos may 

continue to use these products for 3 

years, until October 6, 2014, provided 

that the use complies with EPAapproved product label requirements for 

the respective products. After October 6, 

2014, all use of products containing 

fenamiphos is prohibited. 

V. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(a)(1) of FIFRA provides that 

the Administrator may permit the 

continued sale and use of existing 

stocks of a pesticide whose registration 

is suspended or canceled under this 

section, or section 3 or 4 of FIFRA, to 

such extent, under such conditions, and 

for such uses as the Administrator 

determines that such sale or use is not 

inconsistent with the purposes of this 

Act.

Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify 

EPA and comply with the statutory 

provisions pertaining to the 

manufacture of new chemicals. Under 

TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA 

is required to publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish in the 

Federal Register periodic status reports 

on the new chemicals under review and 

the receipt of notices of commencement 

(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. 

This document, which covers the period 

from August 29, 2011 to September 9, 

2011, and provides the required notice 

and status report, consists of the PMNs 

and TMEs, both pending or expired, and 

the NOC to manufacture a new chemical

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Why is EPA taking this action? 

EPA classifies a chemical substance as 

either an ‘‘existing’’ chemical or a 

‘‘new’’ chemical. Any chemical 

substance that is not on EPA’s TSCA 

Inventory is classified as a ‘‘new 

chemical,’’ while those that are on the 

TSCA Inventory are classified as an 

‘‘existing chemical.’’ For more 

information about the TSCA Inventory 

go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/ 

newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone 

who plans to manufacture or import a 

new chemical substance for a nonexempt commercial purpose is required 

by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with 

a PMN, before initiating the activity. 

Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes EPA 

to allow persons, upon application, to 

manufacture (includes import) or 

process a new chemical substance, or a 

chemical substance subject to a 

significant new use rule (SNUR) issued 

under TSCA section 5(a), for ‘‘test 

marketing’’ purposes, which is referred 

to as a test marketing exemption, or 

TME. For more information about the 

requirements applicable to a new 

chemical go to: http://ww.epa.gov/opt/ 

newchems. 

Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 

5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish in 

the Federal Register a notice of receipt 

of a PMN or an application for a TME 

and to publish in the Federal Register 

periodic status reports on the new 

chemicals under review and the receipt 

of NOCs to manufacture those 

chemicals. This status report, which 

covers the period from August 29, 2011 

to September 9, 2011, consists of the 

PMNs and TMEs, both pending or 

expired, and the NOCs to manufacture 

a new chemical that the Agency has 

received under TSCA section 5 during 

this time period. 

III. Receipt and Status Reports 

In Table I. of this unit, EPA provides 

the following information (to the extent 

that such information is not claimed as 

CBI) on the PMNs received by EPA 

during this period: The EPA case

Gulf of Mexico Regional Ecosystem 

Restoration Strategy (Preliminary) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the Gulf of Mexico 

Regional Ecosystem Restoration Strategy 

(Preliminary) for public review and 

feedback. The document is available at 

http://www.regulations.gov in the 

docket identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OA–2011–0798. President 

Barack Obama established the Gulf 

Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force 

(Task Force) on October 5, 2010 through 

Executive Order 13554 for the purpose 

of coordinating the long-term 

conservation and restoration of 

America’s Gulf Coast. The Task Force is 

an intergovernmental advisory body 

comprised of senior officials from 11 

federal cabinet level agencies and the 

Executive Office of the President, and 

one representative from each of the five 

Gulf Coast states, Alabama, Florida, 

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The 

President charged the Task Force to 

work with state and federal agencies, 

tribes, communities, stakeholders and 

the public throughout the Gulf Coast to 

develop a Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem 

Restoration Strategy. Additionally, the 

Task Force was instructed to build upon 

existing research and ecosystem 

restoration plans, and to learn from 

those who are actively involved in 

ecosystem restoration. 

Over the past year the Task Force has 

engaged with various stakeholders and 

the public as well as coordinated with 

other entities that share the Task Force’s 

important goals. The Task Force held at 

least one public meeting in each of the 

five Gulf states, which included a public 

listening session to gather individual 

input from those most connected to the 

Gulf ecosystem. In addition to the 

listening sessions that took place during 

public meetings, the Task Force held 

multiple listening sessions throughout 

the Gulf in partnership with local 

government leadership, academics, and 

non-governmental organizations. The 

culmination of these efforts has led to 

the development of the Gulf of Mexico 

Regional Ecosystem Restoration Strategy 

(Preliminary), which is being released 

for public review and feedback.
